Breast Implant–Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Figure 4

Representative sections of the left breast capsule. Larger image: the capsule contains small lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells, and occasional eosinophils. In addition, there are clusters of large neoplastic cells throughout the capsule, adjacent to the luminal fibrinoid necrosis (hematoxylin and eosin, 100x). Inset image: the large neoplastic cells are pleomorphic with hyperchromatic nuclei and abundant clear to slightly eosinophilic cytoplasm. Occasional “hallmark” cells with eccentric horseshoe- and kidney-shaped nuclei (hematoxylin and eosin, 1000x).
